a team predicted to win 4 of 5 games is getting more out of a mistake prone rookie QB and nothing at the skill positions than we are. it's all in the coaching and it's obvious.

Re: How is it that the Jets can win games and we can't?

For one thing, they get creative with their different personnel packages on offense. They're not stubbornly trying to force Geno Smith to be something he's not. I watched our game and that one today side by side. It's crazy the difference between the two offenses.

Or forcably running with a back who's inferior to another back on the roster.

Rex Ryan is a good Head Coach, despite our distaste for him.

A real good one. Joe Philbin isn't....at all.

Re: How is it that the Jets can win games and we can't?

Coaching is a huge part of the problem. The line can't pass block. Tannehill holds the ball too long and also has a penchant for making mistakes. RUN the ball. Okay, the coaching staff starts out the game doing some of that. They are effective running the ball. Of course, that is the time to pull out Miller, who had a big gainer, and put in the plodding Thomas. No more explosive running plays and the Bills adjust. Nevertheless, the defense makes some big plays and Miami has a lead with the clock running down. So, of course, time to call pass plays and set up Tannehill to fail. RUN the ball, PUNT the ball and pin the Bills deep, and let your defense win the football game you dopes. TO top it off, the Bills gift you a huge kickoff return and the team can't move the ball to give you a chance to win.
